PALM ROYALE COUNTRY CLUB

The desert winds howl through towering date palms as you navigate target golf at its most demanding, where errant shots disappear into natural waste areas that stretch toward the Santa Rosa Mountains. Ted Robinson's routing maximizes elevation changes rare in the Coachella Valley, creating dramatic approach shots to greens perched above desert washes and framed by cascading water features. What separates this layout from the resort courses down the road is the membership's insistence on firm, fast conditions that reward precision over power—a welcome throwback to golf's strategic roots.
